I have done three tours this year on the NX mostly to Spain from the UK, with pillion and 25kg of luggage, with tour milage of around 2300 miles per tour, mixed roads inc moutains and motorway, the mpg avg displayed was 91mpg.. but actual fill up brim to brim I was getting was 95pmg! 😀
I average 99km for 4 liters on my NX 500. 453 km a tank. That’s riding 50/50 dirt and twisty asphalt. I very seldom break 110km/hr. It’s a great back road and gravel/service road bike. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
I finished a 21 day ride on one in the mountains of northern Thailand yesterday Bike got hammered up and down mountain roads evedy day It coped really well i was impressed I would consider buying one for sure
Interesting: very similar figures for fuel, revs and Speedo over-read to my 2016 500X. It's personal preference but I found the 16T front to be an excellent mod (UK riding conditions). Brings the revs down a bit on the open road, and I think gives more 'pull' out of each gear, and on the 2016 brought the Speedo back to correct. It is in any case a cheap and easy mod, so easy to reverse if you don't like it. Looking forward to seeing how you go with the NX!
Great city bike. Quite poor on the road; uncomfortable for tall persons, slightly too weak, not even light off road capabilities, no rack in standard .

I'm looking into this for some touring mostly on the side roads avoiding highways so good to see an actual test.

Good vid buddy, I'll look forward to see the mods you make.

It should improve over time. I got over 500klms per tank on the previous CB500X.
Looking forward to this
Yes I will be doing mostly that type of riding..
That’s very good economy, but I definitely wouldn’t sit on 80kph “ it’s bad enough sitting behind caravan nomads doing that speed .
Sorry how many litres does the tank hold please, nice bike but why does everyone buy a bike, then do heaps of modifications.?
@@seawench555 17.5 litres.. everybody mods a bike to suit them..

@podunkman2709 yes, but I'm short at 174cm so suits me ok..
With some mods coming I'll be putting all to the test..
Thanks for your feedback.
is it a comfy seat mate??
@666dualsport yes quite good, but I'll be doing an episode on this with modification to the factory seat.. stay tuned .. 🙂
@@ozoutdorz2584 awesome!!, seat and wind protection are my greatest concern, cheers mate
